The look of pure joy/relief on my teenager's face when I announce that we're having pasta for dinner is almost laughable. Is it really THAT much better than everything else I cook? But, I get it. At the end of a stressful day, there's not much better than tucking into a bowl full of pasta, especially if there's cheese involved like in this Artichoke-Chard Pasta and Cheese recipe. Since humans cannot live on pasta alone (right? Or could we?), I'm also sharing a truly show-stopping Blueberry Sweet Corn Shortcake, and oh yeah, four other easy, delicious dinners. Enjoy! Jenna Helwig Food Director Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Apricot-Fresno Glazed Chicken A jar of apricot or peach preserves, umami-rich Worcestershire sauce, vibrant ginger, and spicy Fresno chiles are the building blocks of the luscious glaze that coats this spicy-sweet chicken. Be sure to have plenty of napkins on hand. GET RECIPE Vegetarian Dairy-Free Veggie Pancakes with Sesame Fried Eggs These crispy pancakes are an excellent clean-out-the-fridge meal. While the recipe calls for sweet potatoes and mushrooms, use regular potatoes, carrots, cabbage, or even a bag of broccoli slaw instead. The sesame fried eggs are genius. GET RECIPE Slow Cooker Big Batch Cuban Pork Tacos with Orange Slaw Put the meat and seasonings in your slow cooker in the morning, and enjoy a satisfying meal when you get home. Use leftover pork in rice bowls or to dress up a sheet pan of nachos. It also freezes like a champ. GET RECIPE Salmon Burgers with Pesto Sauce Canned salmon is the secret to getting these flavorful burgers on the table in 20 minutes flat. The stir-together sauce is just store-bought pesto and mayonnaise and one you'll want to keep in your back-pocket for all manner of sandwiches and other dipping occasions. GET RECIPE Vegetarian Make-Ahead Artichoke-Chard Pasta and Cheese Spinach-artichoke dip meets macaroni and cheese in this creamy, dreamy crowd-pleaser. Cream cheese adds richness to the sauce, and canned or thawed frozen artichoke hearts streamline prep. GET RECIPE Bonus! Blueberry Sweet Corn Shortcake My bet is we'll be making this recipe on repeat all summer long. The cake comes together in one bowl, the blueberries cook in 10 minutes, and the whipped cream is spiked with tangy buttermilk. Yes, please.
